ExiledAjax Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 As an aussie, and bane of many an Englishman, we're all supposed to not like him. But how could you? Incredible to watch, a real antihero of mine growing up. RIP to someone who truly is a legend of his trade and sport. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ackbird Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I hated him and loved him in equal measure, their was no one better as a spinner, that Aussie machine was probably the finest post war international side there was.

Silvio Dante Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Just this. I’m a Somerset fan but went to Bristol to watch Glos-Hants just to see Warne play. Every delivery, even when it was hoisted for six, someone in the crowd would shout “GREAT BOWLING WARNIE!” Everybody was there to see him. Everyone knew how great he was. Everyone went home and thought “I’ve seen Warne”. Like seeing the Beatles, you know you’ve seen the ultimate in that field, and you’re just happy to have done so. Hits hard this one.

RedRock Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Very rare for breaking news to stop you in your tracks. This did. Great talent as both cricketer and commentator, and, just what a character. So young. Will be sorely missed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Christ that gave me a shock when I saw it just now. He'd only tweeted condolences to Rod Marsh this morning too.

Slippin cider Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I’m not a huge Cricket fan but will watch occasionally but everyone knew Shane Warne he WAS Cricket and a total legend in the sport . Saw him interviewed just a few weeks ago on morning TV . Shocking news and so very sad . Made me sit dumbfounded for a while …RIP Shane .

Kid in the Riot Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 A great loss to the sport. It was terrifying watching him bowl against England. He was Imperial's overseas player in 1989, though he turned out for some Sunday XI games for Knowle CC too. I know someone that played for Knowle at the time, and apparently there was great surprise that within two years (1991) he made his Australia debut. That summer of '89 he was enjoying BBQ's and beer as much as his cricket, shall we say. He transcended cricket, was one of the biggest names in sport for a time, and will be mourned for a long time down under, I'm sure. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
